Who We Are
Right at Home was founded by Allen Hager. For many years, Allen worked in health care as a hospital administrator. While in the hospital environment, he watched patients – especially seniors – leave the facility and return home, but not necessarily return to health. Once home, a lot of his former patients were unable to care for themselves.
Allen knew that with a little help, most of these people could lead healthy, happy lives in their own homes. But he also knew that there were very few companies that offered this kind of help. Allen didn’t just jump in and start a franchising company, however.
First, he talked to dozens of families to understand the different kinds of challenges they faced and what kind of care would help. Then he became a certified nursing assistant so he could experience the needs of people who were still living in their home but who needed some professional assistance.
In 1995, Allen started Right at Home in Omaha, Nebraska. Five years later, he started branching into other regions of the country by carefully selecting franchisees who shared his passion for caring for those in their community.
Right at Home now has more than 175 offices that serve thousands of clients across the United States. We even have operations in the United Kingdom, China and Brazil.
Right at Home Central Houston has been open since 2008 and is owned by Kristen Carlson. Kristen opened her first Right at Home office in 2007 in the Galveston area. Kristen remains an integral part of both businesses and ensures that all the employees share the same vision of providing excellent, home-care services.

Thank you so much for all you do. In the past several years, I have used a variety of agencies and private care people. It was not until I starting using Right at Home, that I clearly had peace of mind in leaving Mom in someone else's care. Thank you for that.
